WINDOW.

GODDARD, a citizenofthe United States, and

a resident of the 'cit of New York, Long Island City, boroug of Queens,in the county of Queens and "State of New York, have invented a new andImproved Window, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription. 1

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved window,havin a swinging on a transomsash arrange to insure a tight joint, torender'the window dust and moisture proof when closed.

The invention consists of novel features and parts and combinations ofthe same,

which will be more fully described hereinafter and then pointed out inthe claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in theaccompanying drawings forming a part of this spec fication, in whichsimilar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all theviews.

Figure 1- is-a face viewof the improvement H an as applied to a windowhaving both u per and lower sashes, mounted to swing on ori zontalpivots; Fig. 2 is an enlarged transverse section of the same on the line2-2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3is a similar view of a-window having an iippertransom sash and a lower fixed sash; i 4 is a sectional plan viewof thesame on t e line 44 of Fig. 3; Fig. 5 is a sectional plan view of the imrovement on the linef55 of Fig. 1; Fig. 6 s, an enlarged face view ofone of the pivotal'connections for the transom sash to ,swingon, andFig. 7 is a sectional plan view of t" same on v the line 77 of Fig. 6..

' sill C and at the middleby the transom bar' The window frame or casingconsists of the jambs A, A connected with each other at the top by thehead B, .at the bottom by the D, the said parts of the window frame orcasing being made of sheet metal bent into hollow or tubular form."

The upper and lower sashes E .and E have pivotal connections F, F vwiththe jambs A, A ofthe window frame or casing, to allow of swinging saidsashes into an 0 enor closed position.- The upper sash is the top railSpecification a mum Patent. Application filed larch 4, 1908'. Serial No.419,168.

H. and the bottom rail H, and the lower sash E is provided withthestiles-G, Gand the top and bottom rails H1, H

The stiles. and rails of the sashesE and E" are made of sheet metal bentinto hollow or tubular. form, as plainly indicated in 2 and .5, and. inthe said stiles and rails. are formed grooves for the reception of thewindow anes I and- I, secured in lace by the amp oyment of putty or.like astenin means, as indicated in-Fig. 2; The top is H of the ugpersash E is made of two'parts united b ouble seams, which form flanges J,J, 0 which the flange J extends outwardly.from the outer face of thesash E, while the flange. J" extendsupw'ardlyflin alinement withtheinner face of the sash, the said. flange J being ada ted to pass into agroove B formed on the ead B, while the flange J is adapted to abutagainst a shoulder B -formed on the said head 13. Thus when the sashE-is in a closed position an exceedingly joint is had between the railthe ead B. The lowerrail H *is likewise made of two gether-by seamswhich orm flanges J, J, of which the flange J. extends downwardly and isadapted to abut against the shoulder ,D formed on the transom bar D, andthe flange J extends inwardly from the inner face of the sash E, andisadapted to 'pass intoa groove D formed on the transom bar D. The lowersash E. has its rails H, H

arts, fastened to-- grovided with similar fla as. J, J and J} of whichthe flanges J, 1 eng grooves D, C formed in the transombar. and the sillCrespectively, while the. flanges J" and J abut against shoulders D, O-ormed on the transom bar D and .the sill C, respectively. 1

The transom bar D is preferably ormedf of two pieces of sheet metal bentto forma hollow or tubular bar, the two pieces being fastened. togetherby double seams which form portions of the grooves D", D above-mentioned, as shown in Fig.2.v By the ar rangement described, thesashes when swung into closed positions render the window moistureanddust proof, owing to'the double joints both at the outer and inner-facesof the sashes, as above described.

Each of the pivotal connections F and F against the seams Gr connectingthe pieces so as to permit a ready turningor swinging .of the sasheswhenever it is desired to open having a pivot pin F and a plate F having'7. A reinforcing bar L abuts against the with the top of the sill .C,so that the latter ed of sheet metal in a very simple and ex-- (seeFigs. 6 and '7) is formed of a plate F,

a bearing F engaged by the pivot pin F The plate F is fastened byscrews. K to a reinforcing bar L held on the inside of the correspondingj amb A or A, the bar abutting against the double seams A connecting theieces of which each jambis made, as will be readily understood byreference to Fig.

outside of the seams A and preferably extends throughout the height ofthe jamb A or A. The pivot plate F is fastened by screws K to areinforcing bar N held on the inside of the corresponding stiles G, G,G: or G the said reinforcing bar N abutting of which the stiles are madewith each other. By the arrangement described, the plates F and F aresecurely fastened in place to the reinforced portions of the jambs andstiles or close the same. In order to provide a tight joint at thestiles of the sashes and the jambs A, A, the latter are provided withstop bars 0' made of sheet metal bent into tubular form, which receivethe reinforcing bar L, and to interlock with the seams A as plainlyindicated in Fig. 5. Each of the stiles G, G, (l and Gr is provided witha corresponding stop bar G made of sheet metal and interlocked with andformin the inner face of the stile, which-is made 0 two partsinterlocked with each other by double seams G, as shown in Fig. 5.

In case the upper sash only is a transom sash while the lower sash E isfixed or made permanent, then the following arrangement is made, specialreference being had to Figs. 3 and 4. The upper rail P of the sash E ismade of a single piece of sheet metal, open at the top and interlockedby seams Q with the bottom of the transom bar D having the shoulder'Dand the groove D for the flanges J z and J as previously explained andshown in Fig. 2. The lower rail P of the sash E is similarly interlockedby double seams Q and the lower rail P form one hollow structure, thesame as the transom bar I) and the up er rail P. The stiles R of thispermanent sas i E are made of sin le pieces of sheet metal and areinterlocks with the jambs S by the double seams T formed within thejambs, as plainly indicated in Fig. 4.

From the foregoing it will be seen thatthe window frames and sashes canbe constructceedingly durable manner, and the window is renderedcompletely dust and moisture proof when the transom sashes are closed.-

In order to lock the sashes E and E in ceases closed positions, lockingdevices are provided both alike in construction, that it suffices todescribe but one in detail. Upper and lower swing latches T, T, aremounted to swing on rotatable brackets U, D, at-

tached to the sashes E and 1t" and a chain V is attached 'to the lowerlatch T and passes over a pulley NV journaled on the upper latch T. Theupper latch for theuppulls onthe free end of the chain V for the lock ofeither sash, then the catches T, 'l" are simultaneously swung into openposition and on a further pull on the sash E or it is swung open. v

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent:
